History
Ashfield Bridge I
The original bridge crossing the waterway was composed of an early 1900s Gothic style suspension bridge (see Gallery below), serving Greenfield for over 50 years. The Greenfield Transportation Authority then commissioned Whitney & Arupthy Associates to design a new modern bridge to replace the now-aging bridge.
